Xiticix

The Xiticix (pronounced Zy-tick-icks) are a race of insect-like humanoids from the planet Ruche. The insect aliens are an aggresive race of warriors who are extremely territorial. They normally travel in numbers, it is very rare to see one alone. They live in large hive like structures, each having it's own queen and distinctive scent. The living structures reseamble giant mushrooms that tower from 4 to 8 stories high. Many of the towers are connected by bridges that can be traversed from the inside through a tunnel or from the outside as a bridge. The city is a mega-damage structure created with mud and secreted resin.
